After weeks of planning to buy "What to Expect: when you're Expecting", the so-called pregnancy bible, I finally placed an order in flipkarts.com on Saturday and got it delivered on Monday. Firstly, I would like to recommend flipkarts.com. I got a great deal about Rs.50 less than many book stores and it was delivered to my address in 1 working day [though it was mentioned that it will be shipped in 2-3 working days].
From the time we have been planning the pregnancy, I have read a lot of articles online. How to get pregnant? What to eat? What should be avoided? etc etc.Though I remember most of them, the reading was very dispersed. I would start reading about healthy eating habits and then clicking few links, the surfing would take off in all different directions. After kicking off with the book, I feel the reading is more streamlined. Most of the contents in book is already available online in various different formats, but I feel the book is good. The way the book is written is very encouraging. For instance, I found this sentence, "Eating healthy is the first gift that you can give your baby". How true! Probably, I should write it on my desk or take a print out and stick it around. I will surely remember these motivational words every time I get bored of eating all healthy and avoiding junk food. What better gift to my baby than good health!.
Anyway, I am reading a little every day and probably get all the necessary information. I would recommend reading the book from the time you are planning your pregnancy.
